Eleven districts have issued travel advisories for pilgrims and tourists as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued orange and red alerts for different places in the Himalayan hill State.

Meanwhile, facing growing criticism over 34 reported deaths of pilgrims in a landslip, J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, also chairman of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board (SMVDSB), constituted a three-member committee to enquire into the landslide incident on the yatra tracks on August 26.

Torrential rain also lashed Delhi, , leaving large parts of the Capital waterlogged, disrupting traffic, and triggering the collapse of an abandoned house in which three children were trapped and injured.
